On Lemmings

The Mom: Your generation are like lemmings. Wait – do you know what lemmings are?

The 13 y.o.: Of course. Lemmings. They’re Canadian hamsters who travel south on an annual migratory pattern following each other like little puffs of fur on the arctic landscape.

The Mom: Try again.

The 13 y.o.: Oh, I meant monkeys. Lemmings are like monkeys. You know like how your generation was all “Monkey See, Monkey Do”. Our generation is about the Great Arctic Lemming Monkey. We learned about them on Go Diego Go as toddlers.
